Throne of Thunder Raid Preview: Jin'rokh the Breaker

Jin'rokh the Breaker

When the Thunder King awoke, he rewarded the most loyal and ambitious Zandalari trolls with power beyond their wildest dreams. The berserker Jin'rokh was one of the first to receive the King's blessing, and even though Lei Shen's gifts nearly tore his body apart, the troll is now capable of calling the fury of the storm in battle.

Fluidity: All players standing in Conductive Water receive Fluidity, granting 40% increased healing and inflict 30% increased damage. However, all players standing in Conductive Water also take 80% increased Nature damage.

Conduction: Many of Jin'rokh the Breaker's abilities travel through Conductive Water, inflicting Nature damage to all players in that Conductive Water.

Electrified Waters: Jin'rokh the Breaker infuses the Conductive Water with storm energies, removing Fluidity and inflicting 35000 Nature damage every second to all players remaining in the Conductive Water.All players standing in Conductive Water still take 80% increased Nature damage.

Static Burst: Jin'rokh the Breaker performs a quick strike, dealing 95000 to 105000 Nature damage to all players. After 3 sec., this applies Static Wound to his current target.

Static Wound: Jin'rokh the Breaker statically constricts the target, inflicting 18000 Physical damage per stack when taking melee attacks. This effect stacks but dissipates gradually while not in Conductive Water.

Focused Lightning: Jin'rokh the Breaker creates an orb of Focused Lightning, which fixates on a player. The Focused Lightning detonates upon reaching that player, inflicting 142500 to 157500 Nature damage to all players within 5 yards.This orb also pulses 38000 to 42000 Nature damage every half second to other players within 5 yards.

Lightning Fissure: If the Focused Lightning detonates outside of Conductive Water, a Lightning Fissure forms. This field of unstable energy inflicts 47500 to 52500 Nature damage every 1 second to players within 3 yards.

Conduction: A Lightning Fissure contacts a Conductive Water, removing the Lightning Fissure and inflicting 71250 to 78750 Nature damage to players standing in that Conductive Water.

Implosion: A Lightning Fissure implodes upon contact with another Focused Lightning, inflicting 237500 to 262500 Nature damage to all players.

Thundering Throw: Jin'rokh the Breaker throws his current target at a distant Mogu statue, breaking the statue and inflicting 243750 to 256250 Physical damage. Additionally inflicts 190000 to 210000 Nature damage to other players within 14 yards of the point of impact, stunning them for 9 sec.Conductive Water erupts from the broken statue, forming a pool on the ground.

Lightning Storm: Jin'rokh the Breaker commands a fierce Lightning Storm, inflicting 66500 to 73500 Nature damage to all players every second for 15 sec.Furthermore, the Lightning Storm electrifies Conductive Water.

[PH] Lightning Strike: [PH] Lightning Strikes several spots in the room during the storm. These hurt. Each strike diffuses lightning throughout the room, which deals nature damage upon contact. Dodge them.

New Fishing Event

There's a new fishing event on the 5.2 PTR: players get to summon and defeat a sea monster in different pools across Pandaria, fish from a higher concentration of pools, and meet some visiting Anglers.

Thanks to user Ozlem for tipping me off, and El from El's Extreme Anglin' for sharing her own PTR findings with me! Check out El's own excellent writeup for another perspective: 5.2 Pool Migrations.

Areas in which this event can take place are marked with a red X on the minimap. So far nine locations have been confirmed, each of which highlight a different type of fish.

When the event is going on, many additional pools spawn in a concentrated area, with special themed names. In addition, there is one "large" pool that will summon an Krakkanon, similar to Скрытень из глубин. He drops 20 of the area's fish, as well as a chance to drop Рыболовный журнал Ната and fish for Нат Пэгл.

Recent patch notes have confirmed that the fishing events are intended to be daily "Fish of the Day" events in which players visit Бен Трубноголосый by Halfhill to learn which event is up for the day.

Fishing Event NPCs

Various "Fishing invasions" naturally make the Anglers curious. Based on the location, special Angler NPCs will come out to fish:

By Krasari Falls, you will find a goblin NPC on a raft throwing dynamite at the fish. No other Angler NPCs were present.

Not sure what this has to do with fishing, but I'll tell you this- my Hunter is not "godly" at ALL. Sure he solo's alright, but beyond that they're a joke now with the nerf to Bestial Wrath.

All that aside, glad to see Fishing getting some love! Now if only they'd have an easier way of getting the special Archeology recipes/items. I still don't have my Crawling Claw nor bug mount. =(

Balance druids are fine. One might even say they are balanced.

Dude, THERE is a simple SOLUTION to your PROBLEM. All you HAVE to do is RESPEC Feral AND you will once again BE powerful. The only catch IS that you need to re-farm AGILITY gear, a minor INCONVENIENCE. ;)

This event seems unfinished on the ptr. I'm sure the sea monster at the end is supposed to drop something so I can't help but wonder what that will be.

I'm also guessing the sea monster will be faction taggable or whatever it is they are calling it.

Make killing this thing count as winning a fishing tournament so I can finally get my Salty title, and I might actually consider it.
